The other day the AMERICAN border was closed in Columbus, NM. Some members of our ward were trying to get out to the states and couldn't cross the border.
This can be disheartening when you are considered "stuck" in Mexico.
Well, come to find out...there was a huge drug bust on the STATES side! They had arrested the Chief of Police...the Mayer...his wife...and others
therefore, they had to close the border so these high profile law breakers couldn't escape.
We live about 3 hours from the border.
In our small town we have our own, volunteer, police officers. They hold the authority to arrest and carry a gun. They help keep the peace in our community.
Lucky for us, they are all members of our ward. Two of them happen to live down the street from us. I can rest assured knowing that OUR police force in Col. Juarez is NOT corrupt.
